features

The SECURIS™ IV Stabilization Device

is designed to help meet best practice and industry guidelines, including FDA, INS, and CDC definitions as a catheter securement or stabilization device

STABILIZATION

According to INS, “several studies have demonstrated that the use of an IV catheter stabilization device may provide a reduction in overall complications and improved dwell times.” 1

The SECURIS™ Stabilization Device requires 70% more force to dislodge the IV catheter when compared to IVs secured with tape and a clear dressing.*3

The SECURIS™ Stabilization Device demonstrated, through simulated testing, greater catheter stabilization compared to 3M Tegaderm™ IV Advanced. It required more than 50% more force to dislodge the IV catheter.*

The SECURIS™ Stabilization Device demonstrated, through simulated testing, greater catheter stabilization compared to Centurion® Sorbaview® SHIELD. It required more than 20% more force to dislodge the IV catheter.*

STERILITY

The SECURIS™ Stabilization Device is a sterile securement solution designed to reduce the likehood of catheter contamination.

BACTERIA

Past studies have shown that “adhesive tape may transmit pathogenic bateria that contribute to infections.” 2

STERILE

The SECURIS™ Stabilization Device demonstrated, through simulated testing, greater catheter stabilization compared to 3M Tegaderm™ IV Advanced. It required more than 50% more force to dislodge the IV catheter.*

STERILE

3M Tegaderm™ IV Advanced labeled and sold as sterile.

PISTONING

The SECURIS™ Stabilization Device demonstrates greater catheter stabilization, a reduction in total pistoning movement, and requires a greater force to dislodge the IV catheter when compared to tape alone.*

IV catheters secured with tape and a clear dressing allow 50% more pistoning movement when compared to the The SECURIS™ Stabilization Device*

The Centurion® Sorbaview® SHIELD demonstrated through simulated testing that it allowed 200% more total pistoning movement of the IV catheter as compared to the The SECURIS™ Stabilization Device*

The 3M Tegaderm™ IV Advanced demonstrated through simulated testing that it allowed 190% more total pistoning movement of the IV catheter as compared to the The SECURIS™ Stabilization Device*

COMPLIANCE

A sterile securement helps meet best practice and industry guidelines.

INS recommends the use of a catheter securement device as an alternative to tape.

CDC recommends the use of a catheter securement device to reduce the risk of infection for IV catheters.
